Brad Ziegler Watch, #2

It is that time again for another Brad Ziegler Watch. If you’re just now reading my blogs I will fill you in. When the Oakland Athletics came to town at the end of April, I hooked Brad Ziegler up with some U.S Army wristbands because he has an awesome foundation. Its called Pastime for Patriots. So read about it and help out if you can. Or you can get involved in the charity work that I do for the Seattle-King Co. Humane Society. Just a thought. Since I hooked Brad up with those wristbands and since they came from ME they will bring him and the Oakland Athletics some good luck this year. I gave them to him on April 24th 2011. Since then lets see how he has been doing…

On 4/26 Brad pitched against the Angels of Anaheim. He pitched two and a third innings and struck out one batter.

On 4/27 Brad pitched against the Angels of Anaheim. He pitched one inning and recorded his first save of the season. Thats also his 19th save of his career.

On 5/01 Brad pitched against the Texas Rangers. He faced one batter and gave up one hit. The Athletics win, 7-2.

On 5/02 Brad pitched against the Texas Rangers and faced one batter which he ended up walking. The Athletics win, 5-4.

On 5/04 Brad pitched against the Cleveland Indians and faced one batter. He gave up one hit. The Athletics win, 3-1.

So you see? The wristbands are giving him good luck. We will see you next time on another Brad Ziegler Watch.
